New Anchor Bridle

[Bruce K]

I am about to make an anchor bridle for my 40' power cat. 14mm 3 strand nylon, to be secured to bollards on stern, lead along deck and run thru guides on bow of each hull, extra length = extra stretch. Any ideas for splice or junction to attach chain hook in centre? Total rope length is abt 40-45 m. Regards BK

Make it a single length and use a cow hitch in the middle for the hook. That extra stretch is going to make chafing worse on the bow guides, so make sure you take care of that.

Maybe I'm missing something. Why would you run the legs of the bridle all the way back to the stern? Isn't there a place on the bows to attach the legs?
